SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background

Section 182(d)(1)(A) ofthe Clean Air Act,as amended in 1990 (Act), requires States containing ozone nonattaiment areas classified as "severe" pursuant to section 181(a) ofthe Act to adopt TCMs and transportation control strategies to offset any growth in emissions from growth in VMT or number ofvehicle trips, and to attain reductions in motor vehicle emissions (in combination with other emission reduction requirements) as necessary to comply with the Act's RFPmilestones and attainment requirements. The requirements for establishing a VMT Offset program are discussed in the April 16, 1992, General Preamble to Title I ofthe Act (57 FR 13498), in addition to section 182(d)(1)(A) ofthe Act.

The VMT Offset provision requires that States submitby November 15, 1992, specific enforceable TCMs and strategies to offset any growth in emissions from growth in VMT or number ofvehicle trips sufficient to allow total area emissions to comply with the RFP and attainment requirements ofthe Act.

As described in the November 2, 1994, proposed rule (see 59 FR 54866, 54867), the USEPA has observed that these three elements (i.e., offsetting growth in mobile source emissions, attainment ofthe RFP reduction, and attainment ofthe ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS)) can be divided into three separate submissions that could be submitted on different dates.

Under this approach, the first element, the emissions offset element, was due on November 15, 1992. The USEPA believes this element isnot necessarily dependent on the development ofthe other elements. The State could submitthe emissions growth offset element independent ofan analysis ofthat element's consistency with the periodic reduction and attainment requirements ofthe Act. 

### Emissions trends from other sources need notbe considered to show compliance withthis offset requirement. As submitting thiselement in isolation does notimplicate the timing problem of advancing deadlines for RFP and attainment demonstrations, USEPA does notbelieve itis necessary to extend the statutory deadline for submittal ofthe emissions growth offset element.

The second element, which requires the VMT Offset SIP to comply withthe 15 percent RFP requirement ofthe Act, was due on November 15, 1993, which is the same date on which the 15 percent RFP SIP itselfwas due under section 182(b)(1) ofthe Act. The USEPA believes it is reasonable to extend the deadline for thiselement to the date on which the entire 15 percent SIP was due, as this allows States to develop the 

### comprehensive strategy to address the 15 percent reduction requirement and assure thatthe TCM elements required under'section 182(d)(1)(A) are consistent with the remainder ofthe 15 percent demonstration. Indeed, USEPA believes that only upon submittal ofthe broader 15 percent plan can a Statehave had the necessary opportunity to coordinate its VMT strategy withits 15 percent plan.

The third element, which requires the VMT Offset SIP to comply with the post-1996 RFP and attainment requirements ofthe Act, was due on November 15, 1994, the statutory 

### deadline forthose broader submissions. The USEPA believes itis reasonable to extend the deadline for this element to the date onwhich the post-1996 RFP and attainment SIPs are due for the same reasons itisreasonable to extend the deadline forthe second element. First, it is arguably impossible for a State to make the showing required by Section 182(d)(1)(A) forthe third element until thebroader demonstrations havebeen developed by the State. Moreover, allowing States to develop the comprehensive strategy to address post-1996 RFP and attainment by providing a fuller opportunity to assure that the TCM elements comply with the broader RFP and attainment demonstrations, will result in abetter program forreducing emissions inthe long term.

OnJuly 14, 1994, Illinois submitted to USEPA documentation to fulfill the VMT-Offset SIP A public hearing was held on June 22, 1994, and documentation on thepublic hearing was submitted to complete the SIP revision request. The SIPrevision was found tobe complete by the USEPA in a letter dated August 4, 1994. The USEPA proposed to approve the first and second element on December 4,

1994.

### The public comment period ended onJanuary 5, 1995, and two public comment letters werereceived. I. Evaluation ofthe State Submittal

Section 182(d)(1)(A) oftheAct 

### requires the State to offset any growth in emissions from growth in VMT. As discussed in the General Preamble, the purpose isto prevent a growth in motor vehicle emissions from canceling out theemission reductionbenefits ofthe federally mandated programs in the Act. The USEPA interprets this provision to require that sufficient measures be adopted sothat projected motor vehicle volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions will neverbe higher during the ozone season in one yearthan during theozone season in the year before.When growth in VMT and vehicle trips would otherwise cause a motor vehicle emissions upturn, this upturn must beprevented. The emissions level atthe point ofupturn becomes aceiling on motor vehicle emissions. This requirement applies to projected emissions in the years between the submission ofthe SIP revision and the attainment deadline, and is above and beyond the separate requirements for the RFPand the attainment demonstrations. The ceiling level is defined, therefore, up to the point ofupturn, as motor vehicle emissions that would occur in the ozone season ofthat year, with VMTgrowth, ifall measures for that area in thatyear were implemented asrequired by the Act. When this curvebegins to turn up due to growth inVMT orvehicle trips, the ceilingbecomes a fixedvalue. The ceiling line would include the effects of Federal measures such asnew motor vehicle standards, phase IIRVP controls, and reformulated gasoline, as well asthe Act-mandated SIP requirements.

The State ofIllinoishas demonstrated in its submittal ofJuly 14, 1994,

### that the predicted growth in VMT in Chicago, Illinois, is not expected to result in a growth in motor vehicle emissions that will negate the effects ofthe reductions mandated by the Act. Forthis analysis, Illinois used an average summer weekday VMTgrowth rate of2.7 

### percent per yearbetween 1990 and 1996. 

### This growth rate is supported by the ground counts inthe Illinois road file and confirmed by the Illinois Department ofTransportation. Further, Illinois has projected motor vehicle emissions to the year 2007

### using a 2.7 

### percent peryear growth rate not withstanding that the most current socioeconomic data in combination with thetransportation network model predicts a lower VMTgrowth rate. The 2.7 percent per year projection does not predict an upturn in motor vehicle emissions through theyear 2007 In the event that the projected socioeconomic data and associated VMT grow more rapidly than currently predicted, Illinois is required by Section 182(c)(5) to track actual VMT starting with 1996 and every three years thereafter to demonstrate that the actual VMT is equal to or less than the projected VMT. TCMs will berequired to offset VMT thatis above the projected levels (section 182(c)(5)).

Illinois has evaluated the effectiveness and predicted impact ofa number ofTCMs. The TCM evaluation is documented in the December 9, 1993, Chicago Area Transportation Study (CATS) document "Transportation Control Measures Contribution to the 15 percent Rate ofProgress State Implementation Plan" CATS is the metropolitan planning organization for the Chicago metropolitan area. The December 9, 1993, document (which is part ofthe docket for thisnotice) lists the TCMs and the emission reduction calculation methodology Illinois has implemented TCMsin the Chicago area and hasincluded TCMs in the 15 percent RFPSIP Today's SIP revision approval incorporates these TCMs into the Illinois SIP and requires Illinois to construct and operate the specified TCMs that are identified and credited to meet the 15 percent RFP and post 1996 RFP These TCMs are listed in Table 1. On March 9, 1995 the Policy Committee ofthe Chicago Area Transportation Study as metropolitan planning organization for northeastern Illinois, approved these TCMs for submittal to the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency as part ofthe control strategy SIP for the Chicago ozone nonattainment area. There are 127 TCMs that arebeing incorporated into the Illinois SIP for an estimated reduction in volatile organic compounds of2.78 tons perday (tpd). Illinois is using 2.0 tpd to meet the required 15 percent, and the additional 0.78 tpd will be credited toward the post 1996 RFP Most ofthe TCMs (111) have already been completed and the remaining TCMs are scheduled to be completed by the end of 1996. The vanpool incentive program has been implemented and thePace Board (the project implementor)has committed to this project for future years.

Illinoishas taken credit for conventional TCMs such as signal interconnects, additional commuter parking, vanpool programs and transit improvements which include station improvements and new rapid transit service to Midway Airport. The specific 

### projects are listed in Table 1.In addition,Illinois has implemented a number ofTCMs that are expected to benefit air quality such as bicycle and pedestrian projects that willhelp eliminate trips. At thistime, however, Illinois is nottaking a reduction credit forthese projects since a methodology for determining theemission reduction credit is not firmly established and additional studies ofthe effectiveness of these projects are being conducted. Illinoismay takecredit for these projects ata later date. Because Illinois is nottaking credit atthis time,these projects are not currently being approved aspart ofthis SIP revision request.

illinois submitted a 15 percent RFP SIP forthe Chicago area to the USEPA inNovember 1993, butthe submittal was found incomplete in aletter dated January 21, 1994. The RFP SIP lacked enforceable regulations.

On May 23, 1995, Illinois submitted 

### materials to supplement the 15 percent RFPplan. This submittal finalized Illinois' 15 percent SIP The USEPA found Illinois' submitted 15 percent SIP complete onJune 15, 1995. The SIP submission contains amenu ofadopted emissions reductions measures thatthe State believes will achieve the 15 percent reduction requirement by November 15, 1996. In the submission, 

### Illinois uses TCMs for a reduction credit of 2 tpd.

Forthe attainment demonstration and post-1996 RFP SIPs, which Illinois submitted on November 22, 1994 and May 23, 1995, USEPA is still inthe process ofevaluating these SIP submission.

Illinois has metthe first and second elements ofthe VMT offset SIP requirements ofsection 182(d)(1)(A). Regarding the first element, Illinois has identified and evaluated TCMs to reduce VMT and has shown thatVMT growth will not result in a growth of motor vehicle emissions that will negate the effects ofthe reductions required under theAct and that there will not be an upturn ofmotor vehicle emissions. Regarding the second element, Illinois has submitted acomplete 15 percent SIP that relies upon TCMs for 2tpd to make its proffered showing that the 15 percent reduction will be achieved. TheseTCMs will beapproved into tre Illinois SIP effective with this final rule. Consequently USEPA does notbelieve itis necessary to delay taking action on this second element ofthe VMT SIP and that the Agency can atthis point rely upon Illinois's submitted 15 percent SIPto satisfy the second VMT SIP element. However, ifinevaluating the 15 percent SIP for approval it is

### 48898 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 183 / Thursday September 21, 1995 / Rules and Regulations

determined that Illinois will in fact need toimplement additional measures to meet the 15 percent RFP requirement, and a subsequent submission ofa revised 15 percent SIP is required, EPA would have to reevaluate its approval of the second element ofthe VMT SIP

The third requirement is for Illinoisto useTCMs as necessary to attain the standard. This third requirement will be applicable ifIllinoisincorporates TCMs into its attainment planthrough any future SIP revisions. III.Public Comments

On December 6, 1994,the USEPA proposed to approve the first and second elements ofthe Illinois VMT Offset SIPand requested public comment. The public comment period closed on January 5, 1995, and 2sets of comments were received. The Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) submitted comments and the Environmental Law and Policy Center submitted comments for themselves and the following groups: the American LungAssociation ofMetropolitan Chicago; Business and Professional People for thePublic Interest; the Center forNeighborhood Technology- the Chicagoland Bicycle Federation; and the Sierra Club, Illinois Chapter.The following summarizes thecomments and USEPA's response to these comments:

Comment:Commenters argue thatthe Act requires TCMs to offset emissions resulting from all growth in VMT above 1990 levels, and USEPA is required by the Act to ensure emission reductions despite an increase inVMT. The legislative history states that "[tihe baseline for determining whether there has been a growth in emissions due to increased VMT is the level ofvehicle emissions that would occur ifVMT held constant in the year." See H. Rep. No. 101-490 Part I, 101st Cong., 2nd session at 242, and S.Rep. No. 101-228, 101st Cong., 1st Sess. at 44.

Response:As discussed inthe General Pteamble,USEPA believes that section 182(d)(1)(A) oftheAct requires the State to "offset anygrowth inemissions" from growth in VMTbut not,as suggested by thecomment, all emissions resulting fromVMT growth (see 57 FR 13498, 13522-13523, April 16, 1992). The purpose is to prevent a growth in motor vehicle emissions from canceling outthe emission reductionbenefits of the federally mandated programs in the Act.The baseline foremissions isthe 1990 level ofvehicle emissions and the subsequent reductions inemission levelsrequired to reach attainment. Thus, the anticipated benefits fromthe mandated measures such as the Federal motor vehicle pollution control program, lower reidvapor pressure, enhanced inspection and maintenance and all other motor vehicle emission control programs are included in the ceiling linecalculation used by Illinois in the VMT Offset SIP Table 2 in the Illinois submittal showshow emissions will decline substantially from 491.2 tons per day (tpd)in 1990 to 151.4 tpd in 2007 (assuming a 2.7 percent peryear VMT growth rate) and will notbegin to turnup. Emission reductions are expected every year through theyear 2007

The ceiling line approach does not "tolerate increases in traffic ofa magnitude that would wipe out the air quality gains" as suggested by the comment. In fact, the ceiling line level decreases from year to year asthe State implements various control measures and the decreasing ceiling line prevents an upturn inmobile source emissions. Dramatic increases inVMT thatcould wipe outthe benefits ofmotor vehicle emission reduction measures will not be allowed and will trigger the implementation ofTCMs. This prevents mere preservation ofthe status quo, and ensures emissions reductions despite an increase inVMT such thatthe rate of emissions decline is not slowed by increases inVMT or number oftrips. To prevent future growth changes from adversely impacting emissions from motor vehicles, Illinois isrequired by section 182(c)(5) to track actual VMT starting with 1996 and every three years thereafter to demonstrate that the actual VMT is equal to or less than the projected VMT. TCMs will berequired to offset VMT that is abovethe projected levels (section 182(c)(5)).

Under the commenter's approach to section 182(d)(1)(A), Illinois would have to offset VMT growth even while vehicle emissions are declining. Although the statutory language could be read to require offsetting any,VMT growth, JSEPAbelieves that the language can alsobe read so that only actual emissions increases resulting from VMT growth need to be offset. The statute by its own termsrequires offsetting of"any growth in emissions fromgrowth inVMT "It isreasonable to interpret this language asrequiring that VMT growth mustbe offset only where such growth results in emissions increases from themotor vehicle fleet in the area.

While it is true that the language of the legislative history appears to support the commenter's interpretation ofthe statutory language, such an interpretation would have drastic implications for Illinoisif the State were forced to ignore thebeneficial impacts of all vehicle tailpipe and alternative fuel controls. Although the original authors ofthe provision and the legislative history may infact have intended this result,USEPA does not believe that the Congress as a whole, or even the full House ofRepresentatives, believed at the time itvoted to passthe 1990 Amendments to the Act that the words ofthis provision would impose such severe restrictions.

Given the susceptibility ofthe statutory language to these two alternative interpretations, USEPA believes itis the Agency'srole in administering the statute to takethe interpretation most reasonable in light ofthe practical implications ofsuch interpretation and the purposes and intent ofthe statutory scheme asa whole. In the context ofthe intricate planning requirements Congress established in titleI tobring areas towards attainment ofthe ozone NAAQS, and in light ofthe absence of any discussion ofthisaspect ofthe VMT offset provision by the Congress as a whole (eitherin floor debate or inthe Conference Report), USEPA concludes that the appropriate interpretation of section 182(d)(1)(A) requires offsetting VMTgrowth only when suchgrowth would result in actual emissions increases.

Comment:Section 182(d)(1)(A) ofthe Actrequires that emissions ofoxides of nitrogen (NOx) aswell as VOCs resulting from VMT growth must be offset.

Response:USEPA disagrees withthe commenter's interpretation that section 182(d)(1)(A) requires NOx emissions from VMT growth tobe offset. While that section provides that "any growth in emissions" from growth inVMT must be offset, USEPAbelieves that Congress clearly intended that the offset requirement be limited to VOC emissions. First, section 182(d)(1)(A)'s requirement that a State's VMT TCMs comply withthe "periodic emissions reduction requirements" ofsections 182(b) and (c)the Act indicates that the VMT offset SIP requirement is VOC specific. Section 182(c)(2)(B), which requires reasonable furtherprogress demonstrations for serious ozone nonattainment areas, provides that such demonstrations willresult in VOC emissions reductions; thus, the only "periodic emissions reduction requirement" ofsection 182(c)(2)(B) is VOC-specific. In fact, it is only in section 182(c)(2)(C)-a provision not referenced in section 182(d)(1)(A)-that Congress provided States the authority to submit demonstrations providing for reductions ofemissions ofVOCs and

### Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 183 / Thursday September 21, 1995 / Rules and Regulations 48899

NOx in lieu ofthe SIP otherwise required by section 182(c)(2)(B).

Moreover, the 15 percent periodic reduction requirement ofsection 182(b)(1)(A)(i) applies only to VOC emissions, while only the separate "annual" reduction requirement applies to both VOC and NOx emissions. USEPA believes that Congress did not intend the terms "periodic emissions reductions" and "annual emissions reductions" tobe synonymous, and that the former does not include the latter. In section 176(c)(3)(A)(iii) ofthe Act, Congress required that conformity SIPs "contribute to annual emissions reductions" consistent with section 182(b)(1) (and thus achieve NOx emissions reductions), but does notrefer to the 15 percent periodic reduction requirement. Conversely, section 182(d)(1)(A) refers to the periodic emissions reduction requirements ofthe Act, but does not refer to annual emissions reduction requirements that require NOx reductions. Consequently USEPA interprets the requirement that VMT SIPs comply with periodic emissions reduction requirements ofthe Act to mean that onlyVOC emissions are subject to section 182(d)(1)(A) in severe ozone nonattainment areas.

Finally, USEPA notes that where Congress intended section 182 ozone SIP reqirements to apply to NOx as well as VOC emissions, it specifically extended applicability to NOx. Thus, references to ozone or emissions in general in section 182 do not on their own implicate NOx. Forexample, in section 182(a)(2)(C), the Act requires States to require preconstruction permits fornew ormodified stationary sources "with respect to ozone" Congress clearly didnot believe this reference to ozone alone was sufficient to subject NOx emissions to the permitting requirement, since it was necessary to enact section 182(f)(1) of the Act, which specifically extends the permitting requirement to major stationary sources ofNOx. Since section 182(d)(1)(A) does not specifically identify NOx emissions requirements in addition to the VOC emissions requirements identified in the provision, USEPA does not believe States are required to offset NOx emissions from VMT growth in their section 182(d)(1)(A) SIPs. IV Final Rulemalng Action

Based on the State's submittal request and in consideration ofthe public comments received in response to the proposed rule, USEPA is approving the SIPrevision submitted by the State of Illinois as satisfying the first two ofthe three VMT offset plan requirements. The USEPA is also approving into the Illinois SIP 127 TCMs creditable to the 15_percent and post 1996 RFP

This action hasbeen classified as a Table 3 action by the Regional Administrator under theprocedures published in the Federal Register on January 19, 1989 (54 FR 2214-2225), as revised by a July 10, 1995 memorandum from Mary Nichols, Assistant Administrator for Air and Radiation. The Office ofManagement and Budget has exempted this regulatory action from Executive Order 12866 review.

Nothing in this action shouldbe construed as permitting or allowing or establishing aprecedent for any future request forrevision to any SIP Each request forrevision to any SIP shall be considered separately in light ofspecific technical, economic, and environmental factors and in relation to relevant statutory and regulatory requirements.

Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 600 et seq., USEPA must prepare a regulatory flexibility analysis assessing the impact ofany proposed or final rule on small entities. 5 U.S.C. 603 and 604. Alternatively, USEPA may certify that the rule will not have a significant impact on a substantial number ofsmall entities. Small entities include small businesses, small not-forprofit enterprises, and government entities with jurisdiction over populations ofless than 50,000.

SIP approvals under section 110 and subchapter I,part D ofthe Act do not create anynew requirements, but simply approve requirements that the State is already imposing. Therefore, because theFederal SiP-approval does notimpose any new requirements, I certify that it does not have a significant impact on small entities affected. Moreover, due to the nature ofthe Federal-state relationship under the Act, preparation ofaregulatory flexibility analysis would constitute Federal inquiry into the economic reasonableness ofstate action. The Act forbids USEPA to base its actions concerning SIPs on such grounds. See UnionElectricCo. v. U.S. E.P.A., 427 U.S. 246, 256-66 (S. Ct. 1976); 42 U.S.C. 7410(a)(2).

Under Section 202 ofthe Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 ("Unfunded Mandates Act"), signed into law on March 22, 1995, the USEPA must prepare a budgetary impact statement to accompany any proposed or final rule that includes a Federal mandate that may result in estimated costs to State, local, ortribal governments in the aggregate; or to the private sector, of$100 million ormore. Under Section 205, the USEPA must selectthe mostcost-effective and least 

### burdensome alternative that achieves the objectives ofthe rule and is consistent with statutory requirements. Section 203 requires the USEPA to establish a plan forinforming and advising any small governments that may be significantly or uniquely impacted by the rule.

The USEPA has determined that the approval action promulgated today does not include a Federal mandate that may result inestimated costs of$100 million ormore to either State, local, ortribal governments in the aggregate, or to the private sector.

This Federal action approves preexisting requirements under State or local law, andimposes no new Federal requirements. Accordingly no additional costs to State, local, or tribal governments, orthe private sector, result from this action.

Under Section 307(b)(1) ofthe Act, 

### petitions forjudicial review ofthis action mustbe filed inthe United States Court ofAppeals for the appropriate circuit by November 20, 1995. Filing a petition for reconsideration by the Administrator ofthis final rule does not affect the finality ofthisrule forthe purposes ofjudicial review nor does it extend the time within which a petition forjudicial review may be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such ruleor action. This action may not be challenged later inproceedings to enforce its requirements. (seeSection 307(b)(2)). Listof Subjects in 40 CFRPart52

SUMMARY* EPA is amending the final test rule for the Office ofWater Chemicals by rescinding the 90-day subchronic testing requirement for 1,1,2,2- tetrachloroethane and the 90-day and 14-day testing requirements for 1,1- dichloroethane. Thetesting requirements are being rescinded because theAgency has received data adequate to meet the data needs for which the test rule waspromulgated. DATES: This amendment shall become effective on November 6, 1995. In accordance with 40 CFR 23.5, this rule shall be promulgated for purposes of judicial review at 1 p.m. eastern (daylight or standard as appropriate) time on October 5, 1995. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Susan B. Hazen, Director, Environmental Assistance Division (7408), Office ofPollution Prevention and Toxics, 401 M St., SW., Washington, DC 20460, (202) 554-1404, TDD (202) 554-0551, Internet address: TSCA-Hotline@epamail.epa.gov SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA is 

### amending the final testrule forthe Office ofWater Chemicals in 40 CFR 799.5075 by rescinding; (1) the 90-day 

### subchronic testing requirement for 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane, (2) the 90-day testing requirements for 1,1- dichloroethane, and (3)the 14-day testing requirements for 1,1- dichloroethane. I. Background



### Inthe Federal Register ofApril 10, 1995 (60 FR 18079), EPA proposed rescinding the 90-day subchronic testing requirement for 1,1,2,2- 

### tetrachloroethane and the 90-day and 14-day testingrequirements for 1,1-. dichloroethane. The rule establishing 

### these testing requirements was promulgated pursuant to TSCA section 

### 4(a), and published in the Federal Register on November 10, 1993 (58 FR 59667).



### The reasons for the proposal were that data had become available forthese substances which, after review byEPA, were adjudged to be adequate to meet the data needs for which the testrule for these substances was promulgated, the establishment ofHealth Advisories for the Office ofWater. The final test rule for Drinking Water Contaminants Subject to Testing ("theOffice ofWater Chemicals test rule") which EPA is now amending, is codified in 40 CFR 799.5075. II.Public Comments



### EPA received only one public comment during the public comment period. This comment, from the ODW Chemicals Task Force ofWashington, D.C., agreed withthe Agency proposal. II. Amended Testing Requirements



### The Office ofWater Chemicals test rule at 40 CFR 799.5075 is amended to delete the 90-day subchronic testing requirement for 1,1,2,2- tetrachloroethane and the 14-day and 

### 90-day testing requirements for 1,1- dichloroethane. Specifically, parties subject to the test rule will no longer have to comply with 40 CFR 

### 799.5075(a)(1), (c)(1)(i)(A) and (c)(2)(i)(A). 

### IV Economic Analysis

Eliminating these testing 

### requirements will reduce testing costs. Therefore, this amendment should not cause adverse economic impact.
